Great stuff. Wonder what the chances are we see him next year. With his size and speed…feels like he can certainly keep up with the big boys

Reads as someone you put down the wing

Yeah that’s great and all, except that with our back luck he’ll be on IR 60-70% of the time

Only this team could take a guy top 5, who is injured and try to cope about how it’s a good thing. Feels like mistake one for the new GM.

Is the playmaking xG buildup based off of just creating more high danger plays with his ability to skate and bring pucks into high danger areas or is it solely based on passing and making plays for his teammates.
I got a lot of my opinion on Lindstrom based on his series against red deer. To me, it showed what he is without the overpowering tools to dominate weaker comp. I think his back was bothering him, but he wasn’t thinking the game well at all. Constantly out of position, it was bad. My thought is that when you’re not 100 percent you have to gain an advantage through anticipation and being a step ahead, but ultimately you should still be in positions to affect the game. Consistent mental errors happened. The margin of error is too low at the NHL to be out of position at the middle of the ice. I think he can improve if he’s coached right and with concentrated effort, but there’s definite work to be done.
I like the buildup stat. He does have the tools to bring the puck into high danger areas and the danger passes stat was nice to see too. I like the size and I like the transition ability from what was seen earlier in the year. Tbh, I can get my head around him being a similar player to 61 or a Kreider type power forward. A transition wing who can release and use his speed and size to create offense and get the puck into high danger areas. I do think Sennecke and Demidov have similar upsides with more playmaking though as wings.
Do you see him as more of a tools player who will take more time? I think two years of juniors with World Juniors experience seems best for him to completely round out his game.
